Lets’ not kid ourselves! Weightloss can only occur if we change our habits. Yes the habits which have got you to the position you’re in now of being overweight and uncomfortable with your life. The fundamental scientific truth of weightloss - is that it will only occur if a calorie deficit is created. To lose 1lb of fat ‘costs’ approx 3,500 calories, and those calories are ‘paid’ for by eating fewer calories than the body needs to stay the way it is, or by burning more calories than the body needs to stay the way it is, or a combination of the two. The way to break through old eating/thinking habits is to develop an eating plan that will help you create such a deficit without the bother of continually counting calories. A little bit of planning ahead of time can save you loads of time when you’re considering what to eat at meal times. The easiest way to discover what habits have led you to your current position is to begin to examine your current lifestyle habits.
